Frog

I have finished knitting Frog!  I'm thrilled with how he turned out.  I learned a lot about shaping--although the shaping is accomplished pretty easily (increases, decreases, a few wrap-and-turn short rows), the way they are used to make him was really interesting.

I didn't cut/steek for the eyes--I just picked up stitches and then knit the eyelids.  I followed the directions for his left eye (stitching the eyelids together, then placing the eye inside & securing), but for the other eye (his right eye), I put the eye in and stitched the eyelids around it, and I like the way it came out better.

I'm really looking forward to knitting his clothes next!

Frog and Toad, the kit arrives!

To celebrate my birthday this year, I ordered a present for myself--the Frog and Toad kit from Kelson Goods. I ordered it at the end of February, and it arrived!

It's full of goodies--everything needed to make Frog and Toad with their little clothes!

The pattern by Kristina Ingrid McGowan is available in a knit and crochet version, and I'm planning on making the knitted version.
